There are only 3 EP-3E's c...

Re: Recent Mildenhall
Nice pics Ashley.
One question; I saw pics also taken at your position when aircraft take taxiway "Echo" but the other pics I saw had the wheels of the aircraft cut off by the gras. Is that when you take them without a ladder ?? You used a stepladder I assume ?

DUE ; Thursday August 7th RAAF C-17A A41-211
There's a flightplan for an Australian C-17 from Eindhoven , The Netherlands to Brize.
Departure Eindhoven 1100LT so arriving at Brize around 1045-11.00LT I think.
Departure from Brize should be around 1700LT as it should be back on Eindhoven around 1905LT.
